The Penny Hoarder: $0 to $60M bootstrapped on affiliate blogging

Sam tells how Kyle Taylor blogged about side hustles he tried when broke (driving Uber, surveys, coupons), earning affiliate fees like $2,000 per Uber driver referral, and scaled The Penny Hoarder from zero to $60 million in sales, fully bootstrapped, in about six years.

“anytime someone saw an article that he wrote about driving for Uber, he would make $2,000 per Uber driver. And so he was like, oh, this is cool. I should— I'm going to blog about all the ways in which I can save money or make extra money.”
